Please follow the directions for filling out the contract carefully at the top of either contract. This contract will be returned to you by email within two business days, once your puppy is picked up, shipped or delivered. It will contain pertinent information such as the AKC litter number, the parents’ names and AKC numbers as well as your puppy’s date of birth. It serves as your receipt for payment in full and it explains your guarantee on your puppy. It will also have all the shots and vaccines your puppy has had while in our care.

You will need to print this contract and guarantee when it comes back to you and take it to your vet when your Westie puppy goes in for its initial 3 day puppy wellness checkup. This contract will give your vet the information he/she needs to set your Westie puppy on a schedule for the remaining vaccines that it needs.

Your Westie puppy can go home at 8 weeks old. You must pick out your puppy as close to the 8 week pick-up date as possible. You will choose in order of your place in line for that litter. If you are going to pick up your puppy later than the Saturday that follows your puppy turning 8 weeks old, you will have to choose your puppy via video. Please be sure to email (april@arrowheadacreswesties.com) to set an appointment time to pick up your puppy. If you come the Saturday after your puppy turns 8 weeks old and you have 1st choice and have anyone in line behind you, your appointment needs to be, at the latest, mid-morning.

Your puppy must be 8 weeks old to ship or be delivered. If you are shipping your puppy you will have to pick out your puppy via video. We only ship on Thursday so your puppy will be shipped on the next Thursday after it turns 8 weeks old or the Thursday after the prior chooses pick out their puppy.

You have until your Westie puppy reaches 8 weeks old to pick up your puppy or have your puppy shipped. If for some reason you are unable to pick up or have your puppy shipped, we will be glad to hold your puppy for a small daily boarding fee of $10.00. This is payable in cash when you pick up your new puppy or if shipping by PayPal or Credit Card before it is shipped. During this time your puppy will continue to receive all age appropriate vaccines according to our protocol.

If you purchase a puppy that is over 8 weeks old you have 10 days to either pick up your new puppy or have them shipped. Again, if you are unable to pick up or have your new puppy shipped within the 10 days, the same boarding fee applies.

Adult Purchase Process:

Healthy 7 to 8 Year Old Retiring from the Breeding Program:

Our routine protocol for retiring all of our sires and dams is between the ages of six and seven years. Once you have decided on a particular Adult Adoptee we require a $100.00 non-refundable commitment fee. You will then fill out our: COMMITMENT CONTRACT TO ADOPT AN ADULT OR SPECIAL NEEDS ADOPTEE. Just before leaving ARRROWHEAD ACRES WESTIES your Adult Adoptee is taken to our vet. A pre-op physical and blood work are done and they are spayed or neutered. The teeth are also cleaned at this time. They are given a heart worm test to take to your vet so that you can purchase heart worm prevention without taking your adult adoptee in for another test. Occasionally they are sent home with pain meds or antibiotics. If needed, a Rabies vaccine is also given at this time. Your Adult Adoptee will have a fresh groom and a microchip as well. These services usually cost between $500.00 and $600.00. The cost depends on the amount of dental work, the gender and other medical procedures performed. You, as the adoptive parent, pay this fee directly to the vet the day of surgery. You will pay with a debit/credit card over the phone. When you call the vets office, follow these steps:

Ask to speak to Julie or Lisa

Tell them you are calling about a Westie from Arrowhead Acres Westies.

Give the name of the Westie you are adopting.

Give them the credit/debit card information to pay the spay/neuter fee.

Healthy Young Adult:

Occasionally, for various reasons, we will have a young healthy, well socialized adult (2-6 years old) to retire. The reasons for a younger Adult Adoptee retiring will vary. Once you have decided on a Young Adult we require a non-refundable commitment fee of half the cost of the total fee. Then you will fill out our: COMMITMENT CONTRACT TO ADOPT AN ADULT OR SPECIAL NEEDS ADOPTEE. It will also have the same medical procedures done as the other Adult Adoptees. The purchase fees are higher for these Young Adults because they are younger and you will receive many years of companionship and love.
